It sure is. I did this the very first time I played this game, despite being a newbie not knowing anything. Of course, after trying it on a PC I re-loaded and did it later only with the hired Hero. We even re-designed his icon as some black zombie warrior. However, I did NOT know that one could raise enemies during a battle and have these zombies fight on ones side.One thing vastly underappreciated by most people is the use of Animate Dead in Pool of Radiance.
In addition to working as a semi-resurrection spell (animated characters will fight but not cast spells, and can 'trade' items away so it may be preferable to kill NPCs and animate them), the spell will reanimate large numbers of dead humanoid enemies and set them to working for you. It's really kind of fun.
Again, it is amazing that PoR, despite some quirks, has cool features that vanished in the following GB games.
